I have bought a 4G hat for my raspberry pi 3B+ (the sim7600 waveshare for europe) and followed these instructions for setup. It is running the latest version of raspbian and I have internet on the raspberry through the USB interface (wwan0), which works perfectly.
However the next step for me is to setup a wifi hotspot and forward internet to other raspberry pi zeros. I followed setting up hotspot and similar posts like this or this but they all (most) involve ethernet connection. Also, documentation on configuring wwan0 for dhcpcd and dnsmasq or bridging that I could find are not very comprehensive.
I am relatively new and I got stuck in ip table rules and bridges and unable to setup for wwan0. Does somebody know how I should go about this?
Many thanks!
*I hope that I have all the relevant configuration files here.
